Kölsch

Top-fermented but cold-conditioned, which makes it behave like a lager. Protected to Cologne and served in slim 200ml glasses that get replaced until you say stop.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
